What is Samsung Device Maintenance?

Samsung Device Maintenance is a default app installed on Samsung devices that manages power saving features. In order to reduce battery drain, this Samsung app puts to sleep other apps that run in the background. However, Avast Mobile Security needs to run in the background all the time to ensure the complete and continuous real-time protection and to check every file you open on your device at any moment. Other Avast apps need to run in the background to run security features to provide your mobile device with the maximum protection.
